The Muya (Russian: Муя) is a left tributary of the Vitim in Buryatia, Russia. It is 365 kilometres (227 mi) long and has a drainage basin of 11,900 square kilometres (4,600 sq mi).[1]

The area through which the river flows is sparsely populated, the only settlement on the river being Taksimo, with the village of Ust-Muya located where the river flows into the Vitim, nearly opposite from the mouth of the Kuanda in the facing bank.[2] The Muya is navigable for small craft from the Vitim around 70 kilometres (43 mi) to Taksimo.

The Muya has lent its name to a number of other geographic features, including the Northern Muya Range, the Southern Muya Range, the Muya-Kuanda Depression, as well as the local Muya District.

The longest tributary of the Muya is the 180 kilometres (110 mi) long Muyakan on the left.[1]
